Course presentation
This course is intended to give an overview of common experimental methods used in the laboratory in materials science.
Diverse areas are covered, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD), measurement of thermophysical properties, and thermodynamic and kinetic measurement techniques. Emphasis will also be on analysing experimental data with respect to quantifying uncertainties in measurement.
This is a hands-on course with some time being spent in the lab to become familiar with the different methods.
